Hi,
I was using SSH to encrypt a VNC session. For some reason, even though
I seem to encrypt the session it doesn't work.
I do
$> ssh -2C -L 5801:vncserver:5801 localhost
this opens a port on my machine ( port 5801) to the vnc port on the
vncserver. I try to connect to it via vncviewer
$> vncviewer localhost:1
That doesn't work.
Decided to do the same thing with the SMTP port on the same machine just
to test if it worked and it was encrypted. I loaded up Ethereal,
started a capture, then sent an email via commandline SMTP commands.
when I looked at the session packets, they were all in plain-text?
So is this working or not?
I also noticed that connecting to the SMTP port sort of took a while to
initiate. Could VNCviewer be timing out before the session could be
made.
thanx,
